What do you like best about your work?


Going out to the wilderness with interesting people and looking for the fossil clues to the giant jigsaw puzzle of ancient life.
 
I loved dinosaurs when I was a boy, but it wasn't until 10 years ago when I went on a dinosaur dig in Montana that I decided to research and write about dinosaurs. My goal was to show kids all the great new discoveries about dinosaurs.

Today I write books, make television shows, and work on theme parks and movies like Jurassic Park. I have also made the reconstruction of the world's largest meat-eating dinosaur, Giganotosaurus from Argentina. In my job I get to travel to places like Mongolia, Alaska, and the American West. My job is a blast!
